Fantastic place

of 5

I stayed in two of Robert's apartments, each for three weeks, in the fall, with my twin teenagers, as part of a semester across Latin America. Both apartments were both terrific. Wifi was strong. The Recoleta location is fantastic - close to parks and in a safe area of Recoleta. Great outdoor deck. Doorman was very friendly. Decor was fun. Plenty of places to eat, as well as grocery stores. Robert was a pleasure - responded promptly. His Web descriptions are on target. He is someone who cares about being professional.

A Gem In the Sky

Well, for four years I had been trying to take my 86 year old Argentinian-born mom back home; finally she said yes! I booked everything as quickly as possible before she changed her mind... In my search for placed to stay I needed something that was nice, comfortable and in a great location. In total there were four of us: my wife, son, mom and me. A co-worker told me about VRBO and he was very satisfied with the vacations that he had taken using it, so I thought give it a try.

Well I must say I was a little nervous at first because there are so many people ready to steal your money and this was the first time I used this site. As we approached the building my anxiety immediately lessened. Carmen the manager was there to greet us at the door. She assisted us with our luggage upon arrival and departure. She was wonderful, helping us with anything we needed. All you had to do was call her and she was there.

Now comes the best part of all: "a gem in the sky." A beautiful penthouse that took our breath away! When we walked in my wife looked at me with such a smile of satisfaction. Mom had a look that I wish I had a picture of. My son turned to me with an expression of "wow" and said "Mom, you did good." I just smiled and internally was thanking VRBO and Robert! The decor was incredible, and immediately made us feel at home. The kitchen is one that I wish I had. The bedrooms each had their own full bathroom, which provided conveniency and privacy for all. A housekeeper came in the middle of the week to freshen the place up. In addition, the location of this apartment is prime, located in a beautiful neighborhood. There is a supermarket, two coffee shops, and pharmacy across the street. Places to eat were not far also. This is such a beautiful apartment. When I return to Argentina again, and I will, I am staying in "a gem in the sky". My wife and I travel a lot and this apartment is one of the best places we have ever stayed!

Outstanding in Every Way!

When we were planning our week long trip to BA for a special occasion, my wife found this fabulous condo. When we previewed the photos and compared it to everything else, it was really hard to pass up. There were only two of us, so we didn’t need 3 BR, 3.5 Baths, but having a balcony and all of that space seemed luxurious and for this special occasion, seemed fitting, especially taking into account the owner’s responsiveness to our queries prior to booking, the online reviews and anything comparable in the area. So, we bit the bullet and kept our fingers crossed.

Robert, the owner, continued to be very responsive after we made the reservation. He had prepared material covering recommendations for restaurants, entertainment, shopping, museums, etc. His attentiveness to our queries matched the attention to detail we saw in the condo photos, which help us feel safe and secure as we waded into this adventure. He helped us arrange transportation to and from the airport and remained available to us via phone and email throughout our stay. His property manager, transport and other contacts are professional and outstanding. This is one of the best, if not the best, property owners we have ever had the pleasure of renting from.

As for the condo itself, what you see in the pictures is exactly what you get. It is a luxurious, well decorated environment with great attention to details, including the crown molding, granite counter tops, comfortable and clean furnishings, working wi fi, lighting on dimmer switches, luxurious towels, microwave, full six burner Chef's oven, 24 x 7 doorman, outstanding balcony and useable outdoor space.

If that is not enough, the location is outstanding. It is about two blocks to the cemetery and along the way there are some great stores, bakeries (Confiteria Quintana) and the famous La Biel bistro. Across the street from the condo is a supermarket (Disco) where you can get all of the supplies you need to stock the kitchen. When we return to BA, this is the place we will stay. Great owner, great condo, great property manager, just cannot adequately express what a great choice this is and how much Robert, the property and all of the people associated with Robert added to our stay. You will not be disappointed if you stay here.

Perfect!

My husband and I just returned from a week long stay in this luxury penthouse in Recoleta. We were extremely pleased! The apartment is in a wonderful location. It is close to the Recoleta Cemetary, shopping and many excellent restaurants. The apartment itself is 5 star. It is beautifully appointed with original artwork and antiques, but is very comfortable. All three bedrooms have an en-suite bath and a flat screen tv. The apartment has a washer and dryer. There is a full dining room and a full living room, as well as a fully stocked kitchen (toaster, coffee maker, microwave, dish-washer - even a martini shaker!). But the real gem is the fabulous terrace. It is just lovely. I didn't want to leave. In addition to the lovely location and apartment, the owner and his apartment manager were wonderful. They were very helpful prior to our arrival -sending us lots of information about BA in general, transportation, exchange rates, tour guides, good restaurants, etc. Robert was extremely responsive to any question we had. Carmen was in the apartment when we arrived to bring up baggage, show us around, answer any questions... Robert discovered that we had traveled to BA for my birthday and he and Carmen arranged to have a birthday cake and champagne in the apartment upon our arrival. It was the perfect combination - wonderful property and wonderful owner. I can't say enough... I hope to return.

The perfect apartment in the perfect location.

We rented this apartment for the entire month of July, 2014. We absolutely loved everything about the apartment and its location. It was extremely clean, the booking agent and owners were very helpful in answering all of our questions and the apartment amenities were exactly as described on the VRBO website. We can't wait to visit again!

Highly Recommend

This was the first time we used VRBO and I must say I was a little skeptical....but this was nothing but an outstanding experience. Robert was responsive and professional throughout the process, and very accommodating. The apartment was better than advertised, and included everything necessary for a family of 5 to just move right in and be comfortable. The staff and manager were all very pleasant and helpful, especially the manager who was extremely helpful and available. The location was excellent - close to everything: restaurants, shopping, grocery store, tourist attractions, etc.

I would recommend staying here unconditionally, and I am not accustomed to overstatement!
